Apolipoproteins regulate the metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins in plasma of humans. In order to investigate the roles of apolipoproteins in these processes, we plan to quantitate the kinetics of the metabolism of apolipoproteins utilizing nonradioactive isotope labeled amino-acids.
The subjects for these investigations will be either healthy normal volunteer control subjects or patients who have a dyslipoproteinemia. Subjects must be 18-80 years old.
